Enjoyable NAMHO Conference
Several Club members enjoyed the National Association of Mining History
Organisation's annual conference in Derbyshire, back in June, taking
part in underground trips, surface walks, lectures and a mini-bus trip
to mine sites around the Wirksworth area. If you missed this years conference,
don't miss the 2010 Conference in South Gloucestershire. Read a brief report

Please
note:
- Underground exploration can be potentially dangerous if you do not
have the right equipment and skills. This is why you should consider
joining a well established Club, who can train you and lend you equipment
for your first few trips.
- Have a look at our Links page to find links to other underground exploration groups, both in Britain and around the world.
Warning These pages are under continuous development, so beware of false links,
and blind headings .... !!
